Yes, I understand arbitrary fonts can't be used on a webpage. PHP handles
this on the server, with any font you install on the server, then spits out
an image to the client's website. Look at the functions imagettftext and
imagepstext.
Here's an example: http://www.stewartspeak.com/dtr/demo/
And yes, I'm saying if you start typeing with any font in PHP using the TTF
functions, PHP GD ignores the built in Kerning. ImageMagick does not, but
doesn't have native PHP front end support, and MagickWand is a POS.
